Donald trump for President?

[SilverDNA]

One little question about making Donald Thump.. ah no wrong Super Sorry (epic freudian finger keyboard fail).. D. Trump candidate for presidential elections ... have you American noticed that Eu swings always in opposite direction on the next European elections when you elect a president.? Well Now here we had a little state election that turned out that liberals got a blue*back* eye and conservative parties witch likes to conciliate with them isn't happy either because thy seam to hold Fukushima disaster responsible that the green party ( left wing ) got massively plus on the votes but thats not the truth the truth is the people aren't happy to be lied to and not happy that decisions are governed over their heads here ... now think twice witch lobbyists get near to Trumps ears... ( let me remind you it is all about power and about the loot!) Edited March 29, 2011 by SilverDNA

Trump will have a ton of lobbyists swarm to him without question.

 

He is already in the establishment, does a lot of business, he probably is friends with a few lobbyists already.

 

If you want to vote for the ring wing you should vote for Ron Paul.

 

Ron Paul would be better then Obama at this point IMO. I don't like some of his economic views but Obama is doing the same thing as Bush and at least Ron Paul would get us out of the wars.

This sounds un-patriotic I know, but if Donald Trump becomes president I'm moving to canada.

Honestly, I almost think someone like Donald Trump is who could be beneficial as President at this point. At least the man knows how to work a business without getting a nice red bottom line. Most of the guys we put in office are politicians, and just that. While many of them have business backgrounds involving having a lot of money (usually how they paid to get there), most of them aren't big business tycoons used to handling massive corporations, which is more or less what the government is.

 

Some of his policy I don't really agree with, but as a whole, I think he'd make a pretty good President when what we need is someone to balance the budget, not bring about great social change.... Well... we might end up with both.

 

EDIT: Spelling fail turning without to with.

I think that we have been posting without actually stating what parts of Trump's policies that we like or do not, so I will post from his own mouth what are Trump's foreign policy views. Domestic policy is always tempered by the Congress but foreign policy is something that a President forges in a singular fashion.

 

 

Support Russia, but with strings attached

I don’t understand why American policymakers are always so timid in dealing with Russia on issues that directly involve our survival. Kosovo was a perfect case in point: Russia was holding out its hand for billions of dollars in IMF loans (to go along with billions in aid the U.S. has given) the same week it was issuing threats and warnings regarding our conduct in the Balkans. We need to tell Russia and other recipients that if they want our dime they had better do our dance, at least in matters regarding our national security. These people need us much more than we need them. We have leverage, and we are crazy not to use it to better advantage.

 

Few respect weakness. Ultimately we have to deal with hostile nations in the only language they know: unshrinking conviction and the military power to back it up if need be. There and in that order are America’s two greatest assets in foreign affairs.

China: lack of human rights prevents consumer development

Why am I concerned with political rights? I’m a good businessman and I can be amazingly unsentimental when I need to be. I also recognize that when it comes down to it, we can’t do much to change a nation’s internal policies. But I’m unwilling to shrug off the mistreatment of China’s citizens by their own government. My reason is simple: These oppressive policies make it clear that China’s current government has contempt for our way of life.

 

We want to trade with China because of the size of its consumer market. But if the regime continues to repress individual freedoms, how many consumers will there really be? Isn’t it inconsistent to compromise our principles by negotiating trade with a country that may not want and cannot afford our goods?

 

We have to make it absolutely clear that we’re willing to trade with China, but not to trade away our principles, and that under no circumstances will we keep our markets open to countries that steal from us.

Be tougher on China-we’re too eager to please

Our biggest long-term challenge will be China. The Chinese people still have few political rights to speak of. Chinese government leaders, though they concede little, desperately want us to invest in their country. Though we have the upper hand, we’re way to eager to please. We see them as a potential market and we curry favor with them at the expense of our national interests. Our China policy under Presidents Clinton and Bush has been aimed at changing the Chinese regime by incentives both economic and political. The intention has been good, but it’s clear that the Chinese have been getting far too easy a ride.

 

Despite the opportunity, I think we need to take a much harder look at China. There are major problems that too many at the highest reaches of business want to overlook, [primarily] the human-rights situation.

@csgators

Though I agree with you relating to our current sitting president, the job is more than just managing the economy (which Trump has me unconvinced that he could solve), it is his 19th century views on foreign policy that have me concerned..the days of the "Big Stick' have passed (even in their heyday of Teddy Roosevelt it was not all that effective). He talks a tough game (Trump) but once in office all presidents find that the rhetoric of the campaign must give way to the realities of the office. Obama was going to close down Guantanamo, end foreign wars and make peace with our enemies....and what is the current state of affairs? A third conflict, Gitmo still in full operation and our foreign foes still what they were before.

I'm still waiting to see The Donald's position on many things before I would support him, I am still waiting to see his position on the FED which is the true litmus test as to whether they are business as usual or not. Any politician that supports the FED is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street.

 

When it comes to foreign policy it seems almost impossible to predict based on what they say. Bush ran on not empire building and getting entangled in foreign conflicts and we all know how that worked out, you have already noted the mass 180 Obama did after his election.

[marharth]

I doubt he will even run...

 

Hes doing it just to get attention for money purposes IMO.

 

I don't think anyone could take him seriously if he ran.
